I am disappointed Newt didn't step into the presidential race. He's already been hauled over the coals for his "sins", so that would all be old news.

At the same time, I really think if Romney wasn't a Mormon, he'd have taken it far and away. Makes me wonder how this bigoted nation ever went for a Roman Catholic.

Except he's on the climate change bandwagon too.

Gingrich is the only person qualified for the VP spot.

I can't agree with that but for sure he'd be a good one. You're right about the baggage though, he was demonized all out of proportion when he was Speaker of the House. One thing you can say of Gingrich....he's a real leader. During his tenure as Speaker the Republicans at least had a plan...... Now it seems they've little of anything.

too much baggage.

Hogwash!


That's what I say too. Everybody knows about the baggage already, and it's not like H and O don't have any.

I wanted Newtie to run real bad. He had, and has, ideas for solutions to problems.

At the risk of repeating myself, anyone who can find a way to view his series Renewing American Civilization, taped for cable before he became Speaker, should do so. Very impressive stuff.

If Obama should be elected, he may do it in 2012. Although the years are creeping up........
